Let’s take a hike up the mountain! Put on your good walking shoes. Put your lunch in your backpack and put your backpack on. Here we go!
We must climb, climb, climb. (Teacher and students climb while standing in place) Look at the view! See the pretty flowers over there? Let’s pick a few to put in our backpacks. Our parents will like them. Now we must climb higher. Watch out for the slippery rocks. Climb, climb, climb, climb.
We’re getting close to the clouds. Let’s have our lunch right here. Find a place to sit. Take your backpack off and open your lunch. Eat your favorite sandwich and have a few sips of your juice. Eat your energy bar and now it is time to clean up. Throw your garbage away and put your backpack on your back again.
Just a little further to climb and we will have reached the top of the mountain! Can you count to 10 and then we will be at the top! (Everyone counts to 10) Look at the beautiful view of the high clouds (look up) and the low valley (look down). We are now so tired that we must lie down and have a rest. (Teacher and students lie down for a minute) Wake up and give yourself a good stretch.
It is now time to hike down to the bottom of the mountain. As we start climbing down, we see a very good walking stick by the side of our trail. We pick the walking stick up and start using it so we may stay balanced and can lean on it if the way is steep.
As we walk, we pass some other hikers so we say, “hello!”. Can you say hello?
Now we have a bit of excitement because we pass by an eagle’s nest. She is waiting to hatch her chicks. Let’s be very quiet and tiptoe past her. Tiptoe, tiptoe....
We are walking again. As we near the bottom of the mountain, we are looking forward to seeing our parents and telling them about our hike. Reach back into your backpack to get the flowers you picked to give to them. We see our parents and hand them the flowers. They love them and say, “thank you”. You walk to your family car with your walking stick helping you along.
The End
